“Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth)”, a very special CD+DVD career retrospective in celebration of CHILDREN OF BODOM‘s 15th anniversary, sold around 600 copies in the United States in its first week of release.

“Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth)” spotlights specially selected tracks from every one of CHILDREN OF BODOM‘s critically acclaimed albums (1997’s “Something Wild”, 1999’s “Hatebreeder”, 2000’s “Follow The Reaper”, 2003’s “Hate Crew Deathroll”, 2005’s “Are You Dead Yet?”, 2008’s “Blooddrunk” and 2011’s “Relentless Reckless Forever”), plus two newly recorded (and undeniably fun) cover songs and detailed liner notes penned by the members of CHILDREN OF BODOM themselves. The DVD portion of the package includes “candid touring and backstage footage from around the world”, plus the “Shovel Knockout” video.

“’15 Years Of Wasted Youth’ is the sound of CHILDREN OF BODOM working hard, partying hard, being relentless and stubborn,” says the band’s guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho. “We went through many brick walls to get to where we are, and after seven studio albums, two live albums, non-stop touring, bleeding and breaking a lot of bones, I think we are justified in putting this album out. Let the music speak for itself. You have been warned.”

“Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth)” track listing:

01. Hate Crew Deathroll
02. Shovel Knockout
03. Hate Me
04. Everytime I Die
05. Needled 24/7
06. I’m Shipping Up To Boston (* DROPKICK MURPHYS cover; previously unreleased)
07. Sixpounder
08. Warheart
09. Roundtrip to Hell and Back
10. Trashed, Lost & Strungout
11. Living Dead Beat
12. Deadnight Warrior
13. Blooddrunk
14. Follow The Reaper
15. Are You Dead Yet?
16. Silent Night, Bodom Night
17. Jessie’s Girl (* RICK SPRINGFIELD cover; previously unreleased)
18. In Your Face
19. Angels Don’t Kill
20. Downfall

CHILDREN OF BODOM‘s video for the song “Shovel Knockout” can be seen below. The clip, which was directed by Jussi Hyttinen for FLC415 (MTV3, The Finnish National Lottery), adeptly chronicles “what happens from the time a live show ends through to the next gig in a new city” (i.e. lots of drinking and flipping the bird!). The song itself appears on CHILDREN OF BODOM‘s latest studio album, “Relentless Reckless Forever”.

The release of “Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth)” continues CHILDREN OF BODOM‘s year-long anniversary celebration, which kicked off with the band’s highly successful “15th Anniversary” headlining tour of North America.

In an interview with MusikUniverse.net, Laiho said that the band is scheduled to commence the songwriting sessions for its next album this fall for a 2013 release. “I have ideas, but I haven’t done anything about it,” Alexi said. “‘Cause the thing is, I can’t write when I’m touring; it’s not the right kind of environment for me. I know a lot of people do it, but I just can’t. And it’s OK, ’cause I build a lot of ideas in my head, and my memory sucks, but one thing that I never forget is the riffs; they’re always in my head somehow. So it’s really not a problem.”

Former SINERGY Singer Teaching At ‘School Of Rock’, Raising 5-Year-Old Daughter

Former SINERGY singer Kimberly Goss has revealed to Noisecreep that she is now a teacher at the School Of Rock in Naperville, Illinois, where she is also raising her 5-year-old daughter.

When asked if she is involved with any bands right now, the 34-year-old ex-wife of CHILDREN OF BODOM guitarist/vocalist and her former SINERGY bandmate, Alexi Laiho, said, “For me right now, all other things have taken a back seat to motherhood. I didn’t want my daughter to be raised by nannies or babysitters, especially in the very beginning of her life, so I definitely chose to put my career on hold to concentrate on being a parent. Now that she’s getting a little older, I felt good about slowly getting back into music by teaching part time at the School Of Rock. I’m also currently writing for a music supervision company, whose job it is to place background music in TV shows. Writing a big, majestic film score has always been a dream of mine, but even getting the chance to write small clips for TV shows has been a great experience and I’m really grateful to still be getting opportunities to make a living solely from doing music.”

She added, “I would definitely love to start or join another band someday, but for the time being it’s not too practical. My days consist of taking my daughter to school, ballet class, libraries, playgrounds, and of course catching great shows like ‘Disney Princesses On Ice’ or ‘Sesame Street Live’. [laughs] I do have a feeling that getting back into a band will be somewhere in my future. The urge and desire is definitely still there and I have never stopped writing music. I just have to wait for the time to be right. Stay tuned!”

Regarding whether she would ever do a band with Alexi Laiho again, Goss said, “Alexi will forever be one of my dearest friends and he is without a doubt the greatest musician I have ever worked with, but we are both at very different places in our lives right now. That’s not to say that some day in the future something like that couldn’t happen, but it’s certainly not in the cards anytime soon. I would actually love to finish the fourth SINERGY album that we started production on many years ago. At this rate we can probably look forward to a release date in June of 2042!”

School Of Rock teaches kids to play guitar, bass, vocals, keyboards, drums and combines weekly private music lessons and group band rehearsals to prepare students to take the stage in front of live audiences in an authentic concert setting.
